Day 3 in Korea - Everland

Wife had been doing all the packaging every night so that we didn't need to rush the next morning. After getting ready for the day, we checked out as we would be heading for Seoul. Breakfast was at a nearby Japanese restaurant. I was hoping to eat at the Holiday Inn's restaurant. A bit disappointed as the previous hotel breakfast was awesome.

Breakfast place

We had Udon with fried breaded meat. It was nice but it's easily available in our country. Julie bought some instant Korean coffee for us to try.

What you saying?

After breakfast, we embarked for almost 3-hour journey to Everland, one of the famous Korea theme parks. Wife was asking if we're going to ride the T-express, a very scary roller-coaster ride. I couldn't even open my eyes while riding the very small roller coaster in Genting Highlands and Universal Studio Singapore!

Bye bye Alpensia

Our tour bus

An hour later, we had stopped for toilet break. Julie suggested we had the red paste pastry. We're looking high and low for it and didn't see any "red bean" sign. We ended up buying Walnut Cake which was actually the very item that was suggested by Julie.

Pay first and wait for your order

Walnut shape with red bean paste for its filling. About RM0.80 each.

By the time we reached Everland, it was almost mid day. It's quite late and we only had 5 hours in Everland. Quite short as most of the rides' waiting time were at least an hour each.

Julie gave us a comprehensive details of the rides in Everland but I couldn't understand much. However, one of the most regrettable event that we missed was the procession in Everland. There was only one show and we missed it. One of the tour members said that they didn't know about the procession as well until they heard a loud band's playing music. Lee should had at least informed us earlier one. Julie should had gave us the Everland's map a day earlier so that we could plan which routes we should follow.

We only managed to get into six attractions. The last one being the huge Merry-Go-Round. Everland was a huge theme park and 5 hours were too short.

Amazon Express. Waited at least 30 minutes but the ride itself was around 5 minutes

A long wait for a 5-minute ride

Long long wait

It was a good ride nonetheless

Taste was so-so.

T-Express at the back

As we were buying some snacks, we heard band's playing. By the time, we reached the place where the music was, the place was almost empty. The procession had just finished. We were so kecewa. If you have the chance to go Everland, check and double check the time for the grand procession!

At the Rose Garden

Pumpkins everywhere

Looks bad right. Kecewa.. kecewa

Taste like Dr. Freeze

Do you dare to ride on it?

With only an hour to go, we went into a 3D show. It's really bad. But there were many kids around. And they were very responsive to the announcer in front of them. I'm not sure Malaysian kids would be that loud. Probably, the children would be looking into your eyes. Blankly.

Interactive show before the 3D show. You should hear the loud noise made by the kids!

Nothing much to buy. We were looking for a souvenir to bring back home but couldn't find anything worth buying.

Good bye Everland.

There were some stalls selling snacks and a convenience store outside Everland. We bought Banana Milk but still the taste was like candy.
